Island Sailing Club Tuesday Evening Series - Race 12

A smaller fleet turned out this evening with ideal sailing conditions. With England playing in the Football World Cup and a few days before the ISC Round the Island Race it was expected.
The tide was ebbing at the start and a starboard tack took most of the boats off the line with a short beat up to Royal London YC buoy. It was then across to the Bramble Bank before turning up to the east for a beat and then turn back to the line. All the boats were back by 20-30 hrs.
A few boats deserve a mention on the results lists.
John Dudley in his Half Tonner "Pinball Wizard" had his first win of the season after a good second place last week in Class 2. Also a first of the season goes to Richard White in "Reasons To Be Cheerful" in Class 3.
Barry Byham seems to be unstoppable in the Sonar class with his 6th win.
